Thanks John and Jeff,

So the $field parameter is actually an array like below:

array(23) {
  ["ID"]=>
  int(0)
  ["key"]=>
  string(15) "_validate_email"
  ["label"]=>
  string(14) "Validate Email"
  ["name"]=>
  string(20) "acf[_validate_email]"
  ["prefix"]=>
  string(3) "acf"
  ["type"]=>
  string(4) "text"
  ["value"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["menu_order"]=>
  int(2)
  ["instructions"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["required"]=>
  int(0)
  ["id"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["class"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["conditional_logic"]=>
  int(0)
  ["parent"]=>
  int(0)
  ["wrapper"]=>
  array(4) {
    ["width"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["class"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["id"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["style"]=>
    string(24) "display:none !important;"
  }
  ["_name"]=>
  string(15) "_validate_email"
  ["_prepare"]=>
  int(1)
  ["_valid"]=>
  int(1)
  ["default_value"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["maxlength"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["placeholder"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["prepend"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["append"]=>
  string(0) ""
}

I have been able to do some awesome thing :

function viz_acf_prepare_field($field){

	$userid = get_current_user_id();
	$user = new Viz_Author($userid);

	if ( ! is_admin() ) : 
		if ( $field['_name'] == 'client' || $field['_name'] == 'template'  ) {
			return false;
		}	 
		if ( $field['_name'] == 'project_template' ) {
			$field['disabled'] = 1;
			$field['wrapper']['class'] = 'viz_hidden';
			$field['value'] = $user->template;
		}
	endif; 
	return $field;
}

add_filter('acf/prepare_field', 'viz_acf_prepare_field');

In the above code, client and template don’t display at the front-end form, and project_template is disabled with a selected value and custom class.

Thank you all
